INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the
back cover of this instruction book, from the rating
plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the top
oven door.
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the cooker, open the main oven door and
lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect
it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging
and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for
advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage
may occur.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to
prevent overheating and deterioration.
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.
This is a type Y appliance which means it is
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one
or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the cooker is
required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.
Air gap
8
Page 9
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker:
1 grill pan
(311409401)
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from
their surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance when opening the oven door to
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
1 grill pan handle
(311468100)
Note
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan,
this can be ordered from your local Tricity Bendix
Service Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.
1 grill pan grid
(311419801)
1 cranked shelf for
grilling and top oven
cooking only
2 straight shelves
for main oven cooking
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
For your safety, wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
OVEN / GRILL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens or grill are
switched on. In the case of the ovens, they also
indicate when the set temperature has been reached.
They will turn on and off during use to show that the
temperature is being maintained. The grill neon may
cycle when the grill is switched on.
Scuffing of the Stayclean main oven linings by the
oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These
marks will disappear after the oven elements have
been burnt off for the first time.

THE SEALED HOTPLATES
BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME
Turn the control knob to a medium/high setting and allow the hotplate to heat, uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5
minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates, and makes it more resistant to normal use. A
harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates.
l
To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in
either direction to vary the heat setting.
l
The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest represents the coolest
setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the
quantity and type of food to be cooked.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended.
To check the flatness of the saucepan, place a ruler
across the pan base, hold at eye level and look for
light showing. There should be very little or no light
visible between the ruler and the pan base.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
Traditional round-bottomed Woks must not be used
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases
are available and do comply with the above
recommendations.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Avoid the use of decorative covers as they
can cause condensation to form on the
hotplates which may lead to deterioration.
l
Follow any guidelines provided by the
saucepan manufacturer, particularly those
relating to recommended heat settings.
The size of the base of the saucepan should be the
same or up to 2.5cm/1 inch larger than the hotplate.
If the base is too small, energy will be wasted,
boilovers will also be more difficult to deal with as
spillage will fall directly onto the hotplate.
l
Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans as they can lead to sticking and
burning of food.
l
To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
l
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket
l
Never use an asbestos mat

DEEP FAT FRYING
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:
6. Frying temperatures
CelsiusFahrenheit
Scale (
o
C) Scale (oF)
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan
one-third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid
and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the
unfortunate event of a fire, switch OFF at the
electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or
damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool
for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the
hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently
switched ON.
1. Preparing the food
Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and
breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with
batter coated foods as they will stick.
2. Amount of oil
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full
of oil.

PRESERVING
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of
the hob trim.
2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be
no more than one third full when all the
ingredients have been added. It is better to use
two pans rather than overfill one, or use half
quantities.
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil
It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the
temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small
cube of bread into the oil which should brown in
just under a minute if the oil is at the correct
temperature of 190°C/375°F.
4. Cooking the food
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add
too much food at once or the temperature of the
oil will be reduced and may result in soggy,
greasy food.
Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the
surface so will not brown on the upperside if not
turned. Once cooked, drain the food on
absorbent paper.
5. Double frying chips
Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the
chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal
the outside. Remove the chips from the oil.
Increase the temperature of the oil to
190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the
chips.
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally
good flavour.
5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not
completely dissolved before bringing jam to the
boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting
properties and colour of the jam.
6. To test jam for setting:
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.
If a jam thermometer is not available, remove
pan from heat, place sample of jam on a cold
dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen
food storage compartment of a refrigerator).
When cold, it will crinkle and hold the mark of a
finger run through it, if it is ready.
7. The scum should be removed as soon as
possible after setting, but marmalade should be
allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel
rising.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

THE GRILL
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE
KEPT AWAY.
SELECTING THE GRILL
l
To operate the grill open the grill door and turn
the top oven/grill control clockwise so that '0' on
the control knob lines up with setting 1, 2 or 3.
l
Setting 3 represents the grill on Full.
At settings 1 and 2 the grill may turn on and off
over time and you may prefer to use these
settings for keeping food warm.
l
The grill neon will illuminate. It may turn on and
off during cooking.
THINGS TO NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT FULLY OPEN
DURING GRILLING. IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED
THE TOP OVEN WILL OPERATE.
If the grill door is accidentally closed during grilling,
the grill will cut out and the top oven will operate.
The cranked shelf MUST only be used in the grill
compartment, but a straight shelf from the main oven
may be used to provide alternative positions.
Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as
the grill cleans itself.
The top oven cannot be operated when the grill is in
use.
Only the inner element will operate when grilling.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not
necessary to remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right
and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill
pan.
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the
cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over
the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump
on the grill pan.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill.

THE TOP OVEN
USES OF THE TOP OVEN
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is
designed for cooking on one level and for smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook
fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a
temperature setting of 90-100°C on the top oven control dial.
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN
l
Turn the top oven temperature control to the
required setting. Our diagram shows the oven set
to 150°C. Close the oven door.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is
in use. Only the outer part of the top oven
element in conjunction with the base element will
operate when using the top oven.
2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will then turn ON and OFF
showing that the oven temperature is being
maintained.
3. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm.
Never place dishes directly on the top oven base
as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
The cranked shelf must only be used in the top oven
compartment.
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and
safety stop mechanism will be affected.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
All cooking should be carried out using an oven
shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
l
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
15
Page 16
l
There should always be at least 2.5cm (1")
between the top of the food and the element.
This gives best cooking results and allows room
for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings,
etc.
l
When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc.,
place the tins or baking trays centrally on the
shelf directly below the element.
l
DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven
base as it becomes very hot and damage may
occur.
l
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.
l
The material and finish of the baking trays and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning of
the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
l
DO NOT use the grill pan as a baking tray as this
will increase base browning of the food.
l
Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations on page 17.

TOP OVEN COOKING CHART
The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatu
by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.
To operate the main oven turn the main oven
temperature control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven
has reached the required temperature and then
go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
l
The conventional oven is fitted with side
elements. Avoid placing food too close to the
side element oven lining to prevent scorching.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and
safety stop mechanism will be affected.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelves are
numbered from the bottom upwards.
l
Do not line any part of the oven with aluminium
foil as it may cause damage or interfere with the
air circulation.
For best results always:-
l
Preheat the oven until the indicator neon goes
out.
l
For economy leave the oven door open for the
shortest possible time particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.
l
If cooking on two shelves, ensure the shelves are
evenly spaced to allow heat to circulate. Use the
cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions.
l
You may prefer to interchange food such as pies
and bread halfway through cooking.

CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE
ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS
In order to maintain the appearance of your cooker's
sealed hotplates and trims you are advised to use
the recommended cleaning agents daily. If you do
not allow spillages to burn on they will be much
easier to clean off.
THINGS TO NOTE
The red spot in the centre of the hotplates may be
removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is
not a fault and does not effect the performance of the
hotplate.
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for nonstick saucepans with cream cleaner.
AFTER CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the hotplates
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or
commercial restorative agent.
To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF. Pour
a very small amount of oil onto kitchen paper, apply
the paper to the hotplate and wipe off any excess oil.
Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.
To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating
of '4 Hob' or use a 'Minky' Hotplate Cleaning Cloth
following the manufacturers instructions.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or
scourers on the outside of the cooker as some of the
finishes are painted and damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors
and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid
detergent.
Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean
damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for
a few minutes to thoroughly dry.
FOR HEAVY SOILAGE
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream
cleaner e.g. 'Jif' or a powder cleaner e.g. 'Ajax' on
the hotplate and trims. Follow the circular grooved
pattern on the hotplate when cleaning. Rinse off
cleaning agents thoroughly. Dry as for normal
soilage.
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with
'Ajax' powder cleaner, 'Jif' cream cleaner or a Brillo
pad. You may have to rub hard for several minutes.
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly with a damp
cloth. Switch to a low or medium setting for a few
minutes until the hotplate is thoroughly dry.
CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS
The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured
during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel
cleaner , e.g. 'Shiny Sinks' will help maintain a bright
appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as
'Bar Keepers Friend' may be used regularly.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE
PANEL
AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A
SAFETY HAZARD
21
Page 22
CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN
GRID, AND OVEN SHELVES
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid, and oven shelves may be
cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
The grill pan grid should be cleaned using hot soapy
water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning
easier.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL / OVEN
COMPARTMENTS
The sides of the main oven are coated with special
Stayclean linings.
The Stayclean linings should not be cleaned
manually.
The vitreous enamel main oven base, back panel,
interior main oven door and top oven/ grill
compartment can be cleaned using normal oven
cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure
that the manufacturers instructions are followed and
that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the
Stayclean linings and must not come into
contact with elements as this may cause
damage.
For advice on how to keep the Stayclean linings in
good condition see 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Manual cleaning of the Stayclean linings IS NOT
recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays
or abrasives of any kind are used.
l
Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean linings may occur in time. This does
not affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
l
A good time to allow the oven to run on is after
the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn
the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour
or so. It is important NOT to allow a build-up of
soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean from
working.
l
Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
l
Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an
increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
l
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat
before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during
roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
l
It is NOT necessary to add water to the meat tin
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from
the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking - even at normal temperatures, as well
as causing condensation.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C.
It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two
per week to ensure continued good performance
from the Stayclean finish.
Do use the trivet in the roasting tin. During roasting,
the fat from the joint will be contained beneath the
trivet and therefore prevent it from splashing onto the
Stayclean finish.
l
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow
extra browning if required. Some large joints and
turkeys especially benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before
the outside is over-browned.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING?
We strongly recommend that you carry out the
following checks on your appliance before calling a
Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a
simple one, which you can solve yourself without the
expense of a service call.
If our Service Engineer finds that the problem is
